Hello, I am Sam, an NIHR-funded Doctoral Researcher in Public Health and Policy at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, based in the Population Health Innovation Lab.

My research examines how social and structural inequalities shape population health, with a particular focus on food systems and obesity prevention, the regulation of the Out-of-Home Food Sector and digital delivery platforms. I am interested in how policy, commercial environments and digital technologies influence access to healthier food environments and contribute to health inequalities.

My work brings together perspectives from social epidemiology, public health policy and population health. Before beginning my doctoral research, I completed an MPH at Imperial College London and a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences at Queen Mary University of London.
